When I was a child, I was really interested in Chinese characters, each of them looked like a picture and definitely had a story behind them. In order to find the secrets about Chinese characters, I began to read some history books. As I read more and more history books, I realized that I loved history. It's very interesting. For example, when I saw the Chinese characters "婪”, I had no idea why our ancestors created it with two trees (木means tree in Chinese) above and a woman (女means woman in Chinese) below, and the word "婪”means greed. It’s when I had the occasion to read the Bible that I learned that this word might be related to Eve and the two trees planted in Eden. Another word "禁”was also created with two trees above and a notice (示means notice or ban in Chinese) below, and the word "禁” means not allowed or forbidden. Though this was just a personal preference, I really liked to study history throughout my youth. Nowadays, I not only read Chinese history, but I also like learning about the history of the world. By learning history, we can learn a lot from the mistakes made by our ancestors and avoid making the same mistakes ourselves, especially when it comes to building a country.
